Quarterback making moves
EDINBURGH NAPIER Knights, the university’s American football team, is celebrating the achievement of breakthrough quarterback Cameron Dunn - one of several young players making moves towards playing professionally.
The 20-year-old took up the sport with the Knights’ youth teams in Sighthill, and is embarking on a scholarship with St John Fisher University in New York state.
Cameron said: “The move over has gone well so far. We are just settling into the pre-season camp schedule now. With practices underway, every day is busy, but exciting.
“The Knights have really helped me prepare to compete at this level with the quarterback coaching I received last year.
“Being able to compete against Americans who have played all their life is really special.”
Pete Laird, Edinburgh Napier Knights Head Coach and Club Chairman, said: “Cameron started with us as a youth.
“He’s so dedicated, such an earnest kid, his parents have kept him on the steady level. He is a wonderful example to others at the club.”
The club is open to anyone aged 8-19 and is looking for new players.
